Grommit

It's just hat the students log on tho the Teacher Classroom PC's and play the music .. blow the amps and speakers.. Please when there is a cover the students mess around with the PC.. As well as students fiddling with the PC's.. if they know they can logon then they wont bother going to it..

Hi We run a 2003 / XP network with Ranger on to.. I want to restrict students from accessing staff PC's in the Classrooms I tried Ranger React to restart a PC when a member of the student goup accesses the PC but this doesn't seem to work.. Is there something wrong and / or is there another system or way I can block the students,?

As much as I hate RM... the RM one is a very strong PC..

Awesome... but it all comes down to tagging.... And like in Facebook.. Everything you put onling is going to be exposed..

We rejected it for the ICT department.. as we are not busy all the time and job logging for research on the internet is not an option.. So i sent this back to the SLT.. 10min per day doing the sheet.. 50min per week or 2400 min for a 48 week year = 40 hours divide by 8 hours = 5 working days So that one full week to fill out the form x 4 Techs= 1 entire month of manpower just filling out the form.. and I didn't even take off lunch...

The ability to communicate through the medium of Welsh would be highly desirable. right... *looks for a phrase book* Whats the pay like ?

How can you have an open book when you HAVE to buy from the selected supplier ..

Can we bring Weapons of Mass Destruction ?

If you are in London the LGFL has chosen Fronter.. After doing months of research of many other VLE's.. like Moodle Very good system.. kicks the arse out of Moodle and it works with SIMS and the rest of the MIS's

As stated "Dismissals on the grounds of redundancy are permitted by TUPE, as they will normally be for an ETO reason, although the new employer will need to make sure that the redundancy is fair within other employment legislation: e.g. selection for redundancy is fair, and not based simply on the fact that the person is a transferred employee. " And what the redundancy payment ?? Something like 1 week for every year worked ? So they don't have to sack or dismiss you they just retrench you... And what is a fair selection.. LIFO... Last in first out.. so if you are being TUPED to a large unnamed company I'm sure that the "new" TUPED techies are the last in...

Thanks Guys... The Hat worked great.. now 12 little rascles have IPOD shuffles.

Any update ?

I am very interested... need it by 11 am on Wednesday if possible please

Do you have a web site address please ...

Are you sure PFI can OPT out? Do you have a source for this as we are PFI and naturally like you am extremely concerned. Chris I am not 100% sure about now but 3 years ago you could make a business case... Sorry I cannot be more help... You can be retrenched from any company... your school can retrench you now if they wanted and all they would have to pay is a couple of weeks pay.. The same wuth the new company you have been tuped too.. they just retrench you after 3 months.. too many staff.. simple

Hi I am looking for some funky software that you can enter lots of students names into it.. gives a nice visual of names swirling around and when you press enter it selects a name at random .. Bit like lotto but with names on a PC .. Its so we can use it in assembley for prizes... Any ideas..

Great will look at them.... This is for a secondary school BTW..

Russ... My argument is not just about the BSF and RM.. it's about the bigger picture of a few companies wiping out the existing ICT support structure of the education sector.. in 5 years time most of the ICT Managers on this board will be either lower Technicians or working in another sector.. There are thousands and thousands of Network Managers who have careers in the Education sector and they are gonna be wiped out. That's the bottom line.. (one of my mates down the road has lost his job because they would only TUPE him as a technician on lower everything.. he built the entire network with full disaster recovery.... and all they offered him was to change toners. ) So getting all pedantic about is is a bit like the little Dutch Boy and the dyke I don't care about discussing the merits of the BSF and RM vs. RAMESYS.... can't be bothered... What I want to get over to people is "WAKE UP NETWORK MANAGERS... YOUR JOBS ARE ON THE LINE AND IF WE CAN GET ENOUGH HEADS INVOLVED WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE MANDATIORY MANAGED SUPPORT CRITERIA." I am also trying to show with what RM and other companies are up too and what OTHER support contracts they have APART from the BSF .....and how the Education Support could be turning into a Monopoly (bit like Tesco) Sorry if it seems that I am singling out RM.. but they are the biggest player... so it's all of them.. And as for the PFI... that was OK because the schools could opt OUT of the Managed Services Contract.. As for TUPEing..... I was just pointing out that it's not really worth much at all as the new company can get rid of you quite simply if they wanted.. And it seems you guys don't really care much about the BSF... look where the most life changing topic to Network Managers is sitting in your forum.. at the bottom of General Chat.. under... "Talk about your favorite Beer" and "Get it off your chest"... I believe it should be right on top (above Windows) as it is that serious.

I'd be interested to know what criteria was used? The Deprivation Index http://analysis.mkiobservatory.org.uk/webview/index.jsp?mode=cube&cube=http%3A%2F%2Fanalysis.mkiobservatory.org.uk%3A80%2Fobj%2FfCube%2FJD138Sa_C1&study=http%3A%2F%2Fanalysis.mkiobservatory.org.uk%3A80%2Fobj%2FfStudy%2FJD138Sa We are forced to buy from 1 supplier...

Animation Software.. My Boss is looking for easy software for students to make animations on a PC... Something like a video game or cartoon type thing.. Any ideas ?

You should be on T6 as this has more features than T4... The upgrades are free.. If you have maintenance...

Sorry ... Manchester is RAMESYS... :oops:

Think might want to check the above grommit only couple are confirmed rest are preferred bidder only status so are not confirmed not until contract is signed. Also you have leeds in twice and also ni has nothing to do with bsf. Russ Prefered Bidders or Contract Awarded that are confirmed that they are in the very short list.. only 1 I know has not gone to RM plan.. Sorry about the double Leeds.. Newham Warwickshire and Lanarkshire (?) are all RM as well as they have had contracts there for years.. And as for NI I know thay are not part of the BSF .. they are controlled by Northgate.. but they are going to ahve CC3 in every Primary School in the Country.. They are also getting strong in the Australian market.. As they have just bougt a leading Education Software Company called CAZ Software and RM Australasia renews its contract to provide school management software and support to 767 schools in Western Australia. I am just worried that the smaller supplier and all the small people are going to be wiped out .. a bit like the Corner Shop and Tesco.. http://www.rm.com/investors/NewsList.asp http://www.rm.com/company/Generic.asp
